The bladder of children who have had posterior urethral valve at times continue to generate high pressure. High back pressure can worsen the kidney function over time and result in kidney failure. Some of the conditions with leaking of urine can also have high bladder pressure and result in urine infections and kidney failure over a few years. One such situation occurs in children who have had meningomyelocele and lipomeningocele – swellings over the back at birth.
